My son loves shrimp. In fact, love is an understatement. Both my kids are fussy eaters. They like completely different things and each will not eat stuff the other happily will. Ah the joys of motherhood! But this recipe seemed to be popular with both. This is a light and healthy recipe. Use fresh or canned tomatoes and any kind of tomatoes you have in hand. Serve this with linguini or any other kind of pasta, grits, polenta or rice. It stores very well in the fridge too @sarchakra

Notes
I think the use of the sugar is key to balancing the flavors but you can omit it if you’d prefer.
